cloned the boot loader accidentally from a WD to a TOSHIBA
May 17th, 2018, 8:00
and now the toshiba is beeing recognised as the WD, so the two cant be connected together 
It was done using live clonzilla (so no back up of the original boot loader).. anyway to fix this easly? thanks!

If it was already a clone of the other drive....
Ok, I answered how to solve it, considering the guy knows what he is doing.

Maybe what we instinctively consider a bootloader is different.
After reading his post, I considered that he used clonezilla to clone one drive to the other. I never saw an option in clonezilla to clone just the MBR from one drive to the other, not that there couldn´t be one.
Basically, I think he cloned one drive to the other due to some error, do not know exactly how to explain what he wants to do now, and want to see both disks connected to the computer at the same time.

That is what I mean.
He isn´t explaining himself correctly.
After I forgot the part about bootloaders : I believe what he did was clone just one disk to the other, and now is calling the MBR bootloader, and mixing partition Labels as the drives themselves. Nothing as advanced as changing the way drives identificate in bios or whatever, because I would be positive that clonezilla cannot do that kind of manipulation.
As for maybe the reason for them not working together, I do not remember if it is windows 7 or other, but when you connect two drives with same Disk Identifier, the OS will error and not allow access to the disk. Do not remember exactly why, but I have already have to change said disk identifier to make the os happy.
